An American Werewolf in London (1981) Mar 09, 2016

Show notes

This podcast was commissioned as a wedding gift from David Faggiani to his little brother Matt, to celebrate their life-long love affair with the 1981 John Landis horror/comedy "American Werewolf in London". We discuss the awesome practical effects of the movie, the fine line between comedy and absurdity the film walks, Nazi werewolves, the not-so-friendly people you meet in the English countryside, and much more.

Congrats, Matt! Hope you and David have fun in Germany!

Cowspiracy (2014) Mar 03, 2016

Show notes

Special thanks to Adele McDonough who commissioned a podcast on the 2014 documentary film "Cowspiracy", available on Netflix and most other streaming services. Produced and directed by Kip Anderson, it alleges a vast conspiracy among big business, politicians, and even environmental special interests groups to bury the severe negative impact the consumption of meat has on our global climate and water supply. Jim and A.Ron check the facts and try to answer some tough moral and ethical questions as we debate the facts, figures, and philosophy of where individual rights and personal choices come into conflict with the greater good and our duties to posterity.

Thanks again Adele! We appreciate your support! If you'd like to find out how you can commission your very own podcast, please see our Bald Move Shop for full details!

Firefly (2002) Feb 25, 2016

Show notes

In this community commissioned podcast, we discuss Joss Whedon's 2002 television series, "Firefly", which was sadly strangled in the crib by Fox, only to miraculously arise again in the form of a movie, where Whedon decided to put it down for good. We love the series so much that we watch the whole damn thing again, and the movie, and we have a lot of thoughts on the matter. We hope you enjoy this super sized reminiscing of one of our favorite Sci-Fi series of all time.

Special thanks goes out to all of our commissioners; Keith F, Ben S, Michael McB, Kristina M, Ballanor, Jonathan N, Driveshaft, Windysideofcare, Stuart G, Lee M, E.Rin P, Freddy C, Tyler Shumway, Jay R. and J. Johnson for banding together to make this podcast happen. Thanks for your support!

Saving Private Ryan (1998) Feb 17, 2016

Show notes

Mr. Justin “Hatorian” K. won a Bald Move fantasy football league, and this was his reward; the selection of the modern classic war movie, "Saving Private Ryan". Directed by Steven Spielberg, and starring every man in Hollywood (Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, Vin Diesel, Bryan Cranston, NATHAN FILLION, Paul Giamatti, among others), it's a pitiless look into the hell that is war. It is also moving, heroic, complex tale of brotherhood, bravery, cowardice, and loss. It's a powerful film that you really must see before partaking of the podcast, but if you've already stormed the beaches of Normandy with Capt. Miller and company, please enjoy the podcast.

Deadpool (2016) Feb 12, 2016

Show notes

Jim and A.Ron saw the latest kinda-sorta-Marvel movie, "Deadpool", and found it defied their expectations. Rather pleasantly so. What we were expecting is some kind of Dumpuary disaster, and what we got was a slick, action packed, very hard "R", very funny send up of the super hero genre. If you like movies in the "Cranked" franchise, or the latest "Kingsmen" flick, you'll be right at home. If you want our general thoughts and opinions, as well as what we're excited for in the "coming soon" trailers, you are welcome to help yourself, but we save the spoiler-filled deep dive for Bald Move Club members only!

Full Metal Jacket (1987) Feb 08, 2016

Show notes

Special thanks to Judd Blevins, who as a Marine has a special place in his heart for Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket and thus pulled the metaphoric trigger on this commission. A tale of two movies if there ever was one, and featuring what A.Ron describes as a very "un-Kubrickian" structure and asthetic, they guys talk about life in the military, ethics and morality in times of war, season two of Serial Podcast, and probably ill-informed commentary on geopolitics.

If you want to know more, you might want to check out "Born to Kill: The Hidden Meaning Behind Full Metal Jacket" on YouTube, and "The Jungian Thing: Duality in Full Metal Jacket", which is a discussion archived from a newsgroup between several notable creative and critical types.

Hail, Caesar! (2016) Feb 05, 2016

Show notes

We've seen the latest Coen brother's film, "Hail, Caesar!", and it's really... something. Funny, but not hilarious, interesting but ultimately meaningless... or is it? A crazy stew of singing and dancing and politics and religion and featuring more star power than the Milky Way, like most Coen films it will probably reward multiple views. Check out our spoiler free mini-review, and if you're a Club member, stick around for a spoiler filled in depth discussion.

Next week, we'll be back with our review of Deadpool! See you then!

The Shining (1980) Feb 02, 2016

Show notes

Jim and A.Ron check into the Overlook Hotel as we are compelled to podcast on the 1980 Stanley Kubrick psychological-horror masterpiece, "The Shining". Starring Jack Nicholson and Shelly Duvall, it's an incredible combination of beautifully crafted shots, stunning and terrifying visuals and imagery, and Jack Nicholson's fully insane acting. There is so much to discuss; the film itself, our reactions, Stephen King's antagonism towards the film, the various theories and documentaries the film has spawned, subliminal messages and hidden meanings, and fine naked ladies with implausible afros. All this and more is discussed, and we felt like we hardly scratched the surface.

Thanks to Jenny of BrBaFaFe fame, Ryan Lamb, Martin_ORU, PityPity Pyla, Coral182, and Moreadgbowser1064 for pooling their funds together on this commissioned podcast. If you'd like to find out how you can commission your very own podcast, check out the Bald Move shop. Jim also offers this Michel Ciment interview with Stanley Kubrick as a link you might find of interest.

A Prophet (2009) Jan 29, 2016

Show notes

Special thanks to Frank Cantelmi for pulling the metaphoric trigger to commission a podcast on "A Prophet", a 2009 French film and Academy Award nominee directed by Jacques Audiard. An intense, beautiful, absorbing look in how a hapless youth is pulled ever deeper into a world of violent crime, Jim and A.Ron compare it favorably to The Godfather, Goodfellas, and Scarface. Yes, really. Thanks again, Frank!

Pulp Fiction (1994) Jan 25, 2016

Show notes

Hey, it's our first ever community commissioned podcast! Thanks to eight intrepid members of the Bald Move community for pitching in and making this podcast happen. Pulp Fiction is a Tarantino classic, starring Sam Jackson, John Travolta, Uma Thurman along with many others. It's funny, it's violent, it's cool as hell, it is watchable as all hell, features a lot of interesting structural and visual details, and offers some of the all time best dialog ever. We love this film, and we hope you all love the podcast. If you want another Bald Move take, check out Eric and Levi's Direct podcast covering Pulp Fiction.

Thanks to Tiffany C., Tvollmer89, Brittel23, Davedjhosu, Keith A., Lesleyj42, Coral182, and Moreadgbowser1064 for making this happen!
